Adhesive & Grout Classifications
I always get mixed up or forget what the number/Letter combinations for the classification of adhesive and Grout mean and everytime I try to look for a guide on here I can never find one so I thought I would start one off myself.
Please feel free to add to it or correct me
Type C - Cementitious (Cement based Adhesives)
Type D - Dispersion (Ready mixed / Tubbed)
Type R - Resin (Epoxy)
Extra characteristics are described by the numbers and letters below
1 - Normal Adhesive
2 - Improved Adhesive
F - Fast Setting
T - Thixotropy (Reduced slip/ Slip Resistance)
E - Extended open time
G - Grout
S - Elasticity / Flexibility / Deformability
S1 = Deformable (Flexible)
S2 = Highly Deformable

Re: Adhesive & Grout Classifications
you just need to e mail this to the majority of tile shop staff and we might start to get some acurate advice given out to customers for a change.
